“A student can suffer because of their parents’ belittlement, and a worker can suffer because their efforts have not been rewarded. When you are not themselves, can you say that this kind of pain is light or heavy?”
“Pain cannot be compared. It belongs to individuals. In the face of pain, we are all the same.”
Liu Bolu hadn’t expected this little girl to have such a theory of her own, so he started chatting with her, “So what is your pain?”
Lin Qiao was silent for a long time before she chuckled, “My pain is that I have no money. If I have money, I will have no pain!”
Hearing her answer, Liu Bolu smiled without comment.
In fact, true pain is difficult to express in words, and the things that can be easily expressed are not the most painful.
Lin Qiao sat with old man Liu Bolu under the jujube tree at the doorstep for the entire afternoon. At four o’clock, she stood up to say goodbye, but heard a burst of firecrackers nearby.
It was neither a New Year nor a festival, so where did the firecrackers come from?
But Liu Bolu knew this sound very well. In the countryside, it represents the passing of a life.
“You should leave quickly. I’m afraid you will be scared when it gets dark.” Liu Bolu said.
Before leaving, Lin Qiao was worried and repeated her request.
Liu Bolu sighed and wanted to say that he always did what he said, but before he could say it, he remembered that he had broken his promise for sixty years, so finally, he just nodded.
After getting Liu Bolu’s promise, Lin Qiao walked out happily, thinking that the 100,000 yuan was safe now.
So much money should be planned well!
Just after walking out of Liu Bolu’s house, a person who shouldn’t be here suddenly appeared in front of her. Lin Qiao was so scared that her face turned pale.
“Su, Mr. Su?”
Not far away, Su Zhengxing put one hand in his trouser pocket and asked her with a cold face, “Didn’t you say you had left?”
Lin Qiao’s heart instantly began beating faster than a mole digging a hole.
She swallowed and said, “I, I haven’t waited for the bus yet. There are only two buses a day here…”
Passing Lin Qiao, Su Zhengxing saw Liu Bolu behind her, deliberately stepped forward, and said, “So the lost old man you kindly sent back is Mr. Liu?”
Su Zhengxing actually knew Liu Bolu?!
A loud thunder exploded above Lin Qiao’s head.
“What’s going on, Brother?! Did you two know each other before?” Lin Qiao pretended to be stupid on the surface, but frantically begged for help in her heart.
Su Zhengxing, in her consciousness, was also very puzzled. In his memory, he should not have met Liu Bolu at this time, so how could he recognize him at first sight?
When it came to the critical moment, the brother in her mind seemed to be mute. Lin Qiao had a thousand greetings in her heart, but she still had to continue to smile awkwardly.
“Uh… Mr. Su, do you know this old man?” Her smile was uglier than crying.
When Liu Bolu saw Su Zhengxing’s face, he remembered that he had visited before and said that he had clues about Shugui and was willing to do his best to help find her. Although Su Zhengxing did not make any requests at that time, Liu Bolu knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and he must have something to ask for.
“So you know this little girl.”
Liu Bolu’s eyes fell on Su Zhengxing.
